RE: Antifreeze Valves

Indeed. Several of the manufacturer installation guides I have read say that freeze protection must be fitted. Installers tend to cling to what the ...

RE: Simulation of ASHP with Gas boiler as part of decision process

Thanks. (I think you have probably provided the explanation for the apparently anomalous consumption (10MWh vs ~24MWh which would be expected for a 1...

RE: Simulation of ASHP with Gas boiler as part of decision process

I agree with the first sentiment, I was being provocative. Practically speaking one can download smart meter readings and degree days. These should...

RE: Simulation of ASHP with Gas boiler as part of decision process

@cathoderay Since you are convinced (and have sone evidence) that your house heat loss is 12kW, let's take that as read and see where it takes ...

RE: Simulation of ASHP with Gas boiler as part of decision process

I think people, including me, do this simulation exercise as a bit of a sense check and to ascertain how low temperature heating affects their comfort...

RE: Simulation of ASHP with Gas boiler as part of decision process

Thanks. One more question, what is the source of your electricity meter readings and do they include anything other than the heat pump?

RE: Simulation of ASHP with Gas boiler as part of decision process

I do remember the discussion. It would be interesting, at least for me, to try to rationalise the figures. I suspect multiple factors may be in pla...

RE: Simulation of ASHP with Gas boiler as part of decision process

No problem. Something doesn't make sense and it would be good to get to the bottom of it. The divide by 2000 approach (open university says 2200) ...

Not doubting the data, just trying to reconcile your oil consumption with your heat pump consumption whilst assuming your house loss has remained the ...

RE: Simulation of ASHP with Gas boiler as part of decision process

Doubtless it is the case, for example if you live in an uninsulated barn heated part time, or want to run a heat pump in the same fast and furious way...

RE: Simulation of ASHP with Gas boiler as part of decision process

If this is the case and you were previously using 10MWh per annum in oil, then your heat pump is running very inefficiently not at a COP of 3, or some...
